Replaced defective spare tire inflation equipment. Had had two flat tires, and road service could not get it to work either time. When at the dealer for service I told the service representative about the problem, and said that even though it was over a year since I'd bought the car, I felt it was their responsibility to make sure this safety equipment was working properly when they sold me the car, and asked them to fix or replace it. The service rep consulted with his superior, and they replaced the defective tire inflation mechanism.
